Autoresponders are a perfect way to increase traffic to your site.
They can save many valuable hours by automatically answering emails
concerning frequently asked questions about a service or product or by
sending a welcome letter to new members of your program.
There are many ways that autoresponders can help your business.
One of the most important is their ability to track the effectiveness
of your promotions.
Since autoresponders are one of the most popular marketing tools
available today, they are being used by a lot of different kinds
of business and websites.
Some of these take advantage of the system to use the autoresponders
in a negative manner. You should be aware of some of the "Golden Rules"
when using autoresponders.
Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder Address When
Submitting to Search Engines.
Since you will most likely submit your site to search engines such as
Google or Yahoo!, directories, classifieds, and free for all sites,
you should be made aware of the fact that these sites commonly use
an autoresponder as well.
If you were to use your autoresponder to contact these companies,
their autoresponder will reply to yours and so on and so on.
Thus creating a cycle of autoresponses that will flood your email box
and theirs as well.
Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder to Subscribe to
Ezines or Discussion Forums.
Since most of the time an Ezine will send you updates and new
information regularly, your auto responder will send them a message
each time. In a discussion forum, every person in the discussion
forum will receive your auto response. This can be irritating
and most of the time you will be unsubscribed.
It is often hard for the administrators of the forum or ezine to
determine who is using the autoresponse and therefore it is simply
common courtesy to never use an autoresponer in this manner.
Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder to Take Advantage
Of Unsuspecting Individuals.
Some very unprofessional companies will use autoresponders to respond
to an automated message when this is done the address in the "from"
field will be automatically subscribed to their mailing list. This
is a extremely un ethical use of autoresponders and those who do it
are in jeopardy of creating a very negative image of themselves and
their company.
Rather than promote their service or business, this usually leads to
people becoming very upset and spreading a negative word about your
company rather than a good one.
The Internet can be a great place to do business and autoresponders
can be an excellent way to save time, however when used in an
unprofessional way, they can lead to frustration and aggravation for
others. Your company will suffer the loss of much business if you
choose to participate in these abusive practices. The appropriate use
of auto responders can generate a large amount of business, while
inappropriate use can drive away that business.
